CASTER / CAMBER / TOE (CONT)
PROBLEM: The kart is hopping through the center of the corner.
SOLUTION: The kart is trying to transfer more weight than the flex in the chassis will
allow. Decrease the caster angle to help settle the weight transfer down through the
middle of the corner.
NOTE: Increasing the caster will always help the kart turn better, but at the expense
of corner exit speed. Increasing the vertical weight transfer puts a larger burden on
the engine. An ideal caster setting would be as little as possible so that the inside
rear wheel lifts on entry but does not lift so much that the kart over-grips.
POSITIVE CAMBER
PROBLEM: The kart understeers on entry, then grabs and becomes loose in the rear.
SOLUTION: Increase the positive camber in the kart. Standing the kingpin upright will
increase the contact patch of the tire and result in more front end grip.
